• Allow the appliance to stand for 2hours after installation.
• To get best performance of product,
- Do not place foods too closely in front of the vents at the rear of the appliance
as it can obstruct free air circulation in the freezer compartment.
- Wrap the food up properly or place it in airtight containers before put it into the fridge freezer.
- Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing near to already frozen food.
• Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment.
• Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen goods.
•T
here is no need to disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply if you will be
away for less than three weeks. But, remove all the food if you are going away for
the three weeks or more. Unplug the refrigerator and clean it, rinse and dry.
• In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your Electricity Company
and ask how long it is going to last. Most power failures that are corrected in an
hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should
minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. But should the
power failure last more than 24hours, remove all frozen food.
• If the key is provided with refrigerator, the keys should be kept out of the reach
of children and not in the vicinity of the appliance.
•T
he appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of
contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment)
when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of
temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as bananas, melons.
•P
lace the ice tray at the originally provided position by manufacturer in order to
achieve optimal ice-freezing.
•Y
our appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually defrost
your appliance, as this will be carried out automatically.
• Temperature rising during the defrost can comply with ISO requirement. But If you want
to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the
appliance, please wrap the frozen food in several layers of paper such as newspaper.
• Any increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting can shorten its storage life.

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
Caring for your Samsung Refrigerator prolongs the life of your appliance and helps keep it
odor and germ-free.
02 OPERATING
Cleaning the Interior
Clean the inside walls and accessories with a mild detergent
and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. You can remove the
drawers and shelves for a more thorough cleaning. Just
make sure to dry them before putting them back into place.
Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a clean, soft cloth.
Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly
on the surface of the refrigerator. This helps ensure an even
distribution of moisture to the surface. The doors, handles and
cabinet surfaces should be cleaned with a mild detergent and
then wiped dry with a soft cloth. To keep your appliance looking
its best, the exterior should be polished once or twice a year.
Do not use Benzene, Thinner or Clorox™ for
cleaning. They may damage the surface of the
WARNING
appliance and can create a risk of fire.
Cleaning the Rubber door seals
If the rubber door seals are dirty the doors may not close
properly, and the refrigerator will not operate efficiently. Keep the
door seals free of grit or grime by cleaning the doors with a mild
detergent and damp cloth. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not spray the refrigerator with water while it is plugged in, as
it may cause an electric shock. Do not clean the refrigerator with
CAUTION
benzene, thinner or car detergent for risk of fire.
Cleaning the Deodorizer
To clean the deodorizer, turn the cover deodorizer counter clockwise to remove it. Remove the
deodorizer cartridge from the cover and soak it in clean, warm water for at least 4 hours.
Then, allow the cartridge to dry completely before replacing it in the holder. This can take up to
8 hours in a well-ventilated area. For best results, repeat this process once or twice a year.
Cartridge
If the cartridge dries in a confined (or humid) area, there may be an odor to
the cartridge. If this occurs, re-clean and allow to dry in a well-ventilated area.
Cleaning behind the Refrigerator
To keep cords and exposed parts free of dust and dirt accumulation, vacuum
behind the appliance once or twice a year.
WARNING
Do not remove the back cover. There can be a risk of electric shock.
